    Thank you very much for taking the time to research this and provide informative information to those of us wanting to learn.

    I wish that all of the folks starting out here would read this, as it would be very helpful for them.

    I happen to agree with this and have found for myself that it is true for me. As with many people here, I have often been sidetracked by comments on MFP, but I have researched quite a bit too, and have drawn conclusions, in my personal experience, that are different from the popular opinions of some here.

    We are all different. We need to know ourselves and what works for us. It is a learning experience.

    Thanks for sharing. It is important.

    P.S. The best information I have read on MFP in the almost 20 months I have been here.

    I definitely appreciated reading this. There are so many contradicting articles and an obscene amount of advice that it can become quiet confusing. Thank you for breaking everything down in a simple, yet concise article!

    I have to bump this thread. People toss around "starvation mode" as if eating under your calorie count once or twice will hurt anything. Unless you are literally STARVING and have little to no food intake over a PERIOD OF TIME, it is VERY unlikely you will experience starvation mode aka Adaptive Thermogenesis. Unhealthy, yes...starvation, no.

    I'm just reading this now.. thanks! I was worrying today bc I ate a little less than 1200 calories & worked off 450 so I was worried that I might put my body into starvation mode and not take off any weight haha. I see you posted that a few months ago so I hope since then you've reached your goal, or have gotten close to it.

    Yes, I'm so thankful for this post! I cringe every time I see reference of going into starvation mode over a slight decrease in caloric intake.
